Well, I finally am able to upload photos. But, wow..what a pain. I had to download GC, which in turn means that I have to open up 3 windows before I can even access on my computer, as it doesn't seem to want to "stay" on my desktop. Then, in order to upload photos to Blogger, I can't seem to directly save them from FB (I don't upload them to the computer...I tried...my Android and my laptop don't play well together. Ugh), and THEN "download" them to my laptop. My goodness! And I don't want to use GC on everything, because, #old, and #passwords.
July 1st (Canada Day), a friend and I went to Desert Hills. I have been back here for over 21 years, and I had not ever been there before. I think we will go back (or Anker and I might go back) in a couple of weeks or so, as there will be more produce there. It was nice to get out of town for a few hours. That evening, Anker and I went out and saw the fireworks. I thought that the place we had in mind was going to be a secret spot. I guess 30,000 people thought the same thing. It was still nice, and everyone was well-behaved. I found out later that Adam (K was away for 48 hours) and the boys were just down from us. It was nice to have a "proper" fireworks display after the drone disaster last year, and I don't think that we had had fireworks for years prior. The show was great, and I think everyone was thrilled!
Fireworks!!!!
Our weather has been up and down. We are very thankful for the rain (not a lot of fires, thank You, Lord), but we have had some hot days, which have been nice. I haven only had one "swim and sun" this summer, and it was barely sunny. I took J to the river (his choice) to swim, which he had a blast, and we had a good time.
I had J overnight one night (second time) earlier this month, and I looked after both boys for a couple of days. I went for lunch with a friend, and another friend and I went out for my belated bday lunch. The same friend (who I went to lunch with) and I went for a picnic lunch yesterday. We got stuff from 7-11, and we sat in a shaded area by the river.
We grabbed a post-lupper Drink at Starbucks :) I had an iced caramel Macchiato with Chocolate Cold Foam. Yum!
Last weekend (5th-6th), Adam asked me if I wanted to go on and adventure. I hesitated, then I said,"sure, why not?". We went to a lake that neither of us had been to, called Roche Lake. It was cool-ish, but the water was warm, which I was really surprised at. I hadn't planned on going paddling, but they "made" me go, I have paddled probably twice in my life. But it was fun, and we made some memories. I also decided to go and buy myself a life jacket. I will probably only wear it once or twice a year, but I have one now, so that is good! On Sunday, our church had its annual "Party in the Park", in which we join up with another church in a local park. We have a short service, and a BBQ. The weather was perfect, and it was a wonderful time.
I only got a few pics from the farm on Canada Day, but here is one of the best ones. I will take more next time I go.
And that has been my July so far!! It has been a lot of up and down of emotions and situations, but I am thankful that God has and is will be ever-present in my life :)
